Hmm. That's odd. There's a bunch of .iq domains listed in google:

http://www.google.com.ph/search?q=si...e+Search&meta=

But none of them are showing up. Perhaps the .iq cctld sponsor has gone bust?

Don't expect .iq domains to be around anytime soon, nor available to open registration...

The application process could take several months for Iraq because the country and the government remain unstable.

Take a look at:

Iraq, its domain and the ‘terrorist-funding’ owner

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/04...aq_its_domain/

The .iq domain is currently run an individual - a man called Saud Alani who gives a Baghdad telephone number yet is based in George Bush's home state of Texas. His company "the Alani corporation" is part of a group of companies all run from the same address in Richardson, Texas, including InfoCom and Valnet. All of these companies - and the .iq domain - have as their technical contact and/or owner one Bayan Elashi. Unfortunately, Mr Elashi is in federal custory in Seagoville jail, Texas, awaiting trial for allegedly funding anti-Israeli group Hamas. If found guilty he faces a crippling fine and most of the rest of his life in jail.
